Gordon: This is Gordon Pepper, and in honor of
Big Money week, I bought a big wallet.Chico: And I've got a big fat check. Well, big compared to what I usually get.Gordon: (Takes Check. Puts it in wallet). Tada!Chico: I don't like the way this is working out.Gordon: Tell you what, when I cash it, I'll give you 51%.Chico: Okay. By the way, what's the date on that check? I read February 30.Gordon: I thought I read September 32nd, but it's still cashes the same.Chico: So yeah. *takes check, rips it* Sorry. But check it, we've got big money
money, big money money mon-AY to talk about.Gordon: (puts it in Hamtaro shredder)Chico: But we've got a lot more where that came from, because from somewhere in
America, the Money, Money, Yeah, Yeah edition of WLTI.... is... ON!Gordon: YAY! Gordon and Chico here, and we start with over 2 million to be given
out this week on The Price is Right. As for how much of it was given out...1 out
of 5 ain't bad. Well for them, anyways.Chico: Nope.

Chico: It's a big money Monday. The rest of the week... Not so much. Let's go
through the week. Monday: 1/2 Off for $100,000. The game was played perfectly
and we had a $100,000 winner! So an early MVP..

Chico: Congratulations to Cassidy Schlitz.Gordon: Aaaaaannnnd then it all goes downhill from there.Chico: Tuesday's Big Money Game: Triple Play. Three big money cars and none of
them go out the door. Wednesday actually did something kinda cool. Granted it
wasn't won as expected, but it was still cool. The Big Money game was
Cliffhangers, but the rules were changed slightly. The money offered: $250,000.
But the house took back $10,000 for every step Yodelly Guy went up the mountain.
Kyle Corral used this rule to pick up $30,000. Not a bad payday... but not the
big money.Gordon: I liked this a lot. THIS is the creativity they should have had for
Plinko WeekChico: Thursday was a trip down the Golden Road for.... a BENTLEY. The whip of
MY dreams. Okay, let's play it out. Bentley, $189,_65 Numbers: 5, 2, 4, 7.Gordon: USUALLY, no numbers repeat. HOWEVER, it's big money week, and the
producers almost certainly don't want to give out that Bentley, so I'm going to
go...on a whim...the only number that repeats - 5.Chico: And you would've had a Bentley. I wonder what the reaction would've been
had the Bentley been won.Gordon: Psycho contestant!Chico: And crying producer. :-) Now for Friday's show... it's the $500,000
PLINKOGordon: Probably would have been crying more if $500,000 plinko was hit.Chico: Yeah. That didn't happen. Clora Hicks ends up winning $2,000. It's not a
hard game to win, folks. What's so hard about front. And. Center. So overall,
this Big Money Week is a vast improvement from the last one, and a lot of
creative opportunities were taken advantage here.Gordon: So we've had 3 special TPIR weeks. And we're going to have more of them,
which includes Dream Car Week in around a month. Thoughts?Chico: I've said it before, I'll say it again, I'm all for special weeks, but
when you stack them one over the other, it's almost like the show is less
special.Gordon: I agree. The special modifications are fun, but not too many this
quickly. I'll wait for November Sweeps for the next one.Chico: Not that the special weeks themselves are bad, but space them out, bro. I
can wait too. Meanwhile, LMAD didn't want to be left out of the fun, so they had
their own Big Money Week.Gordon: It's called the 'Big SHot'. It's a spinning wheel that if it lands on a
dollar sign, you win. Chico: It's a 16-slot wheel, if I'm not mistaken.Gordon: Correct. You can play for the following:

$30,000: 1 space
$10,000: 4 spaces
$5,000: 8 spaces
$2,500: 12 spaces

Gordon: So it's one out of 16 for $30,000.Chico: With the other slots marked as, of course, ZONK.Gordon: Right. Now of course, they don't give out the $30,000. But they do give
out $5,000.Chico: which is pretty cool. And it was also used on Wednesday as a part of
Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Which was also pretty cool. So aside from making
it impossible to win any big money, Big Money Week on CBS was a rousing success.
Can't wait to see what comes next down the pike.Gordon: The funny thing is Dr. Oz makes more money than both big money
weeks...COMBINEDChico: Yikes.

Chico: So here's the story. Dr. Mehmet Oz, an FoO and apparently a big game show
fan due to the amount of quizzes he's been on. He's on WWTBAM for HealthCorps.
Dr. Oz makes $100,000 on a stone guess, which leads us to this WITH his ATA
available...

< $250,000 >
Which one of these major movie stars is listed on IMDB.com as "Partygoer/Preppy
Guy at Fight" for the 1987 movie "Less Than Zero"?
a) Hugh Jackman
b) Brad Pitt
c) Colin Farrell
d) Brendan Fraser

Gordon: This is an either you know it or you dont question. You can rule out
Farrell because of the age, but the other 3 actors ages are in the ball park.Chico: And The Good Doctor is calling on the audience.

a: 11% b: 46% c: 19% d: 24%.

Chico: Now I have a good idea and I wouldn't be above using that good idea
before using the lifeline. You can rule Colin Farrell out because of age. You
can also rule out Hugh Jackman because he was in Australia at the time. That
leaves Brendan Fraser, who could've done it around that time, and Brad Pitt, who
also could've done it around that time. But I knew it.Gordon: I knew it also, and it's Pitt.Chico: It IS Pitt! And Dr. Oz goes bat-guano all over the place. Who wants to
see a $500,000 question?Gordon: ME!

Chico: I could make a Bill Clinton joke here, but I'll let it come to your
imagination.Gordon: This is another one that you know or you don't. In this case, I have no
idea, so I would have bailed.Chico: I also would've bailed. Any guess?Gordon: None, but I did look it up. According to Wikipedia, the answer is
Whisper White, so that's my guess :)Chico: But I also guessed Whisper White... and I was right. But $250,000 for
HealthCorps is not hay. And of course we'd be remiss to remind you that you can
learn more about the charity at HealthCorps.orgGordon: Very true. Is there a charity on teaching people how to read Amazing
Race clues?Chico: Here we go again...

Chico: Let's go to Portugal, where Chester & Ephraim set off first. They already
have the lead. If they keep pace, they can keep the lead and win the heat. Pay
attention, this is relevant.Gordon: (Grabs popcorn)Chico: The NFLers head to a travel agent and have them book a flight that, had
it worked, would've put them in Portugal WAY AHEAD of the pack. But even with
some follow up grunt work, there is one delay after another on the flight out of
Argentina. So they get on another flight which is ALSO delayed. So they try for
one more flight, but at this point, they are half a day behind everywhere else
AND the flight they're on is routed to London. They ultimately get to Lisbon,
but who should be waiting for them at the airport... not a cab... .not a clue
box... but the Racemaster himself.Gordon: And this is when you know you're screwed - you get out of the plane and
see Phil Koeghan waiting for you at the airport.Chico: Usually when this happens, there's at least a clue directing you directly
to the Pit Stop.Gordon: I think they may have been so late (half a day) that they had to get
them out of the picture and this could have been happening while the other
racers were on their next leg.Chico: Wouldn't have surprised me.Gordon: Then they can spend sometime with Candice Cody.

Gordon: The great challenge between Brad Culpepper and John Cody will go on for
another episode. It will go on without Candice, who gets knocked out of the
Redemption Island challenge.Chico: Which sucks for John. For Brad... not so much. The run up to Tribal
Council, though, was far more interesting. Now imagine for a moment that you
have a choice: An outsider or a strong physical force. Who do you send to
Redemtpion Island? The person who is not going to be pissed at you when they
coma back in the game.Chico: So not the outsider.Gordon: In this case, the outsider, because here's the problem that Aras made
for himself.Chico: What is the problem that Aras made for himself?Gordon: 1. Laura Boneham is going to be pissed. 2. Monica, seeing that you sent
someone to take hubby out, is going to be pissed. 3. Brad is going to be pissed
when they see Monica's group is sending someone strong to get rid of him. Now if
per se, Laura and John BOTH happen to get back into the game, Aras now has a
counter alliance that could easily find the guys over at Tadhana and create a
counter-allianceChico: Could happen. So the tribe sends over Laura Morett to rub out Brad. And I
imagine that Monica will not be too happy with that. Because Monica can't
seprate game from not-game. She represents the kind of player that I find to be
the most dangerous... the one that doesn't care about consequence so long as the
job gets done.Gordon: Exactly. This could be very bad for Aras. What isn't so bad - so far -
the singing on The Voice.

Chico: It's Battle Time!Gordon: Weeee!Chico: Let's go over the standings as they happened. As a reminder, you can
catch all of the Battles in their entirety on The Voice's YouTube page. So far, there have been 18 battles. Grey vs. Nic Hawk. Grey wins, Blake
steals Nic. The song was Jessie J's "Domino." Amber Nicole vs. Timyra-Joi. The
song, "Listen" by Beyonce. Christina chooses Amber. Justin Chain vs. Shelbie Z.
The song was "Don't you Wanna Stay" by Jason Aldean & Kelly Clarkson. Blake
chooses Shelbie. Anthony Paul vs. Caroline Pennell. The song, "As Long As You
Love Me" by Justin Bieber. Why?Gordon: ...yuck.Chico: Cee Lo chooses Caroline. Christina steals Anthony. Donna Allen vs.
Tessanne Chin. The song, Emeli Sande's "Next To Me". Adam Chooses Tessanne.
Briana "My Sister's Famous. I'm Not Pointing That Out, NBC Is" Cuoco vs. Jacquie
Lee The song, "House of the Rising Sun". Christina chooses... Jacquie. But...
and I'm sure that the whole sister thing was totally not a factor.. the OTHER
coaches play for a steal. Briana is making a power play and going for... BLAKE.
Jacob Poole vs. Matthew Schuler in "My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark".
Matthew wins.Chico: Kat Robichaud vs. R Anthony on "I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing". Kat wins.
Cole Vosbury vs. Lupe Carroll on "Africa". Cole wins. EG Daily vs. Sam Cerniglia
on "something to Talk About". EG wins. Ashley DuBose vs. Justin Blake on "I'm
Just a Fool". Ashley wins. And finally, Monika Leigh vs. Ray Boudreaux on "Some
Kind of Wonderful." Ray wins... Cee-Lo steals Monika. So far, a very solid blend
of performers, and we're only haflway finished.Gordon: Keep in mind the steals can ALSO be used in the Knock Out RoundsChico: Yep. More to come in the following week.Gordon: So we have more of this to play out. Meanwhile, we see another show
being played out on the Internet.Chico: Well... out of the internet. But the point is valid. Go on.Gordon: It's a new MTV game show called The Hook-upChico: It's basically Baggage for millennials. One dater will choose among four
suitors based on their "social profiles". Those who don't measure up will be
"blocked" until there is one remaining.Gordon: The catch is the baggage is found on the internet. The Good: If you like
Baggage, and don't mind a tamer version, you'll like this.Chico: Indeed. This is actually surprisingly done well. And it doesn't stop for
any cheesy breaks once the game starts. Why are the besties there again?Gordon: To add padding to the show.Chico: Ah right. Because MTV shows aren't padded enough.Gordon: Apparently not. The bad: Andrew Schultz, the host, needs a little less
cream and sugar in his coffee.Chico: Too much of a cheerleader, this guy?Gordon: I understand how you need more energy in this than you do in Baggage,
but it's a bit too much energy. If he calms it down, he's ok. The material works
here. Let the material do it's job.Chico: Definitely. I mean, the meat is there in the sandwich. Andrew Schultz can
move the game along very well, but he needs to tone it down to about a 7.Gordon: But I think I'm being picky. MTV did it's background homework on this
show and what makes dating shows work. This is a solid gamer and clearly works
off of the Baggage Model. And notice you don't get the 'we've seen this before'
complaint because they take a new spin on it.Chico: Yep. This is an old game given new life and it's relatable to its
audience. The only bad... too much Red Bull in the Green Room. Other than that,
it's a very solid B+.Gordon: I'll go slightly lower, but still a solid BChico: Okay, we'll get to Brainvision in a moment but first, a BONUS!

Chico: Jeopardy! Battle of the Decades... the Oughts. The line up... Some
of the greatest to play the game. They are..

Chico: and the 15th WILD CARD spot.Gordon: I don't think it really matter what the wild card is going to be with
that Ken dude there. And where's David Madden?Chico: For the record... In the running: Ryan Chaffee, Tom Nissley, Joey Beachum,
Erin McLean, and Kara Spak.Gordon: I'll say Kara, but watch out for that ken dude.Chico: I'm going to go with Erin. She's solid beast.Gordon: That's why we have a hamster names Ken Jen (pets hamster)Chico: Could be anyone, but they're going to get HAMMERED! by that Ken dude.
Aren't you a good hamster...Gordon: He is. Now Roll that Beautiful Brain Footage(Doug:
Live, local, and latebreaking... From the four corners of the globe to
your frontal lobe, this is WLTI Brainvision News, and now here's Gordon Pepper,
Chico Alexander, and the award-winning Brainvision News Team)Chico: Thanks, Doug Morris. We'll start with a recycled aluminum bat. For a
renewed series. Get it?Gordon: Got it. That's using you're metal.Chico: Or reusing it. :-)

CW has given the 21st vote of confidence to Tyra and the gang, renewing ANTM for
another go. Meanwhile, Heroes of Cosplay gets a backorder of six more episodes.

Chico: ... Yay?Gordon: You know you'd want to compete as Mario.Chico: Been there. Done that. Though if you want a hint as to my costume this
year...

Chico: I got muscles. I got glasses. I got the shirt yesterday. I'm ready.Gordon: And then when you eat all the Epic Mealtime food, you'll have the gut
back.Chico: Yeah I'm only bringing paper bacon. :-) But you're bringing more
groceries, I think.Gordon: Databanks are made of paper.

Guy's Grocery Games comes on this week. We'll see how many Supermarket Sweep
references we'll be making when we
review it next week.

Chico: I've got the beep counter ready. (beep beep) That's one. We also have
@midnight and Trust Me, I'm a Game
Show Host this week.Gordon: I heard the beep. Now I'm ready for the Fully Loaded Sweep.

TNT has greenlit a new series that allows viewers to taste the winning dishes.
Yes, it's a cooking show mixed with
Fashion Star. But it's from Mark Burnett, so.... there's something.

Gordon: Mark Burnett means we'll be seeing great production values. It will also
mean we'll see a blueprint of one
of his previous shows all over this one.Chico: Perhaps an episode or two of The Apprentice. The show is called "On the
Menu" Each episode will center
around a different American food business. Home cooks will work wth pro chefs to
create a signature item. The
winning dish goes on sale the VERY NEXT DAY. Catch it in 2014.Gordon: That could be a smart ideaChico: It could very well be a smart idea.Gordon: But I have a bunch of stupid people.Chico: ... Am I going to have to get the helmet out of cold storage?Gordon: ...Maybe

Are YOU Smarter than...the Millionaire Audience, who has gone up to 78% on an
answer...they got wrong

Gordon: Would you like to ask the audience?Chico: I would like to ask the audience.

A. 78% B. 9% C. 3% D. 10%

Chico: ... I'm going to actually go away from the audience and say D. Shania
Twain.Gordon: You would be...RIght!Chico: I think Faith Hill was first, followed by Pink, then the current Mrs.
Mike Fisher.Gordon: It IS Shania Twain. 78% of the audience went Pink, and that cost Mike
Fisher his $46,000 bank. Ouch. The
audience this year, so far, has been terrible. how come?Chico: I could not tell you. I want to say that curtailing the show to Cedric's
audience is taking away some of
the intellect. But this is not an intellectual question. It's an
either-you-know-it-or-you-don't question.Gordon: The audience learly did not know this one.Chico: ClearlyGordon: We'll discuss this on a later show. Right now, have some Haterade.

This is something that makes you say Huh? ABC has decided to commit to airing
Desiree Hartstock and Chris
Sigfield...on the condition that they don't get married until the Fall 2014.

Chico: I say they don't make it. Scared money don't make money.Gordon: They wanted it in the Summer. We'll see if they make it to the fall. But
knowing you, you want to send
them on a Honeymoon trip, don't you?Chico: Yes I do. They're going to the British Isles. And so are we this week. We
have an upgrade to speak of, and
it involves your game show hussy, G.Gordon: Oooh. Very nice.

Victoria Coren is taking Only Connect to BBC Two from BBC Four.

Gordon: This is a promotion, which is great, but a little trepidatious, because
you go from guaranteed security to
uh oh we need ratings.Chico: I think they have the ratings to challenge any and all comers. Otherwise
the Beeb wouldn't have made the
move. Meanwhile, they're trying out a few new formats to replace the series. BBC
Four has shortlisted three new
shows to replace Coren's little quiz that could - The Knowledge, Eliminate the
Impossible and Enigma. Should be
noted that OC is currently in season 7. Season 8 will air on BBC Four. Season 9
onward will air on BBC Two. Nothing on BBC America, because we need more Top Gear and Doctor Who,
damn it! And apparently more
MasterChef imports. You take a look at the MasterChef imports? They use
professional chefs on their show.Gordon: Those would be media hoes in trainingChico: (plays Luda)

Andy Cohen pulls out of the Miss Universe hosting gig, Alton Brown goes on tour,
Betty White's Off Their Rockers
gets renewed by Lifetime after being cancelled.

Kanye West doesn't want to marry Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner is dating Young
Jinsu, and Kendra Wilkinson has a
baby media ho.

Gordon: But none of them are your ho of the week.Chico: Who have you got it?Gordon: I have Kelly Clarkson, who wants to go on the Voice - and then gets
herself off of the Bachelor eligible list.Chico: good for her. I believe we have the photo courtesy of On Air with Ryan
Seacrest.

Chico: Those baby hoes grow up so fast. I remember she was an awkward waitress
singing in front of a producer, a
singer, and a connoisseur of tight t-shirts. Now she's gone off and gotten
herself married.Gordon: And those...are your hoes.Chico: And that's Brainvision (shuts off). Still to come, the fall season is
upon us... which means my DVR is
working overtime. But what does it say about me?Gordon: But first, we have some witty retorts. More than usual. You're reading
WLTI. you give us 22 minutes and
we'll give you 22 Big Money versions ofo Price is RIght Pricing Games that would
be harder to do. Like Spelling
Bee if you used a 5 letter car word instead of C-A-R.Chico: T-R-U-C-KChico: V-I-P-E-RChico: M-I-N-I.... Batman symbol.Gordon: 6 Digit Cover upChico: That's just evil, man.Gordon: REALLY Stack the Deck!Chico: how about Two Away instead of One?Gordon: One OR Two Away?Chico: ... You get it.Gordon: Range Game with a $15 Range Finder on a Bentley

(BrainVision has been brought to you by Kentucky Fried Tarheels: The Search for
Jadaveon Clowney Sweepstakes. All
The Giants have to do is get up the ladder of suck to win! Can they lose to an
equally inept Minnesota team? This
is huge, because if they win, they also lose the tiebreaker. Go VIKINGS!)
